Ed Willes sits down with Paul Chapman and they examine the NHL playoffs.
Is the NHL playoff’s second round a dud because the league is stratified and the top four teams are head and shoulders above the rest? And where do the Canucks fit in that conversation? What does Vancouver have to do to break into that elite group?
Ed and Paul also look at the serious issues stemming from Deflategate. Where does this leave the NFL commissioner Roger Goodell with the league’s most powerful owner Robert Kraft? Where does Tom Brady go from here? Why are they pretending that the “Deflator” is a nickname of a fat guy trying to lose weight?
Finally, Ed and Paul look at the last game in Liverpool of soccer icon Steven Gerrard before he takes off to play in the MLS with the L.A. Galaxy. What is it about iconic athletes that forms such a strong bond with fans and with their cities? Gerrard is likened to Derek Jeter, Teemu Selanne, even Jerry Rice.
